  • Fixed the broken links in the SubmittingPatches file.

    [ The old links turn out to not be broken after all, but the new links
    are certainly more readable - Linus ]

  • I was struggling to get my email-client no to mangle my patch files,
    and I didn't find enough information in the SubmittingPatches file.
    By looking for more information on the web, I eventually found the
    email-clients.txt file, and it answered all my needs

    This patch adds a reference to email-clients.txt in SubmittingPatches,
    and Mozilla related information which is no longer accurate
    (as opposed to the details found in email-clients.txt).

    This should be helpful for people sending their first patches,
    or not sending patches on a frequent basis.

  • This version brings a number of new checks, fixes for flase
    positives, plus a clarification of the output to better guide use. Of
    note:

    - checks for documentation for new __setup calls
    - clearer reporting where braces and parenthesis are involved
    - reports for closing brace and semi-colon spacing
    - reports on unwanted externs

    This patch includes an update to the documentation on checkpatch.pl
    itself to clarify when it should be used and to indicate that it
    is not intended as the final arbitor of style.

    Full changelog:

    Andy Whitcroft (19):
    Version: 0.07
    ensure we do not apply control brace checks to preprocesor directives
    add {u,s}{8,16,32,64} to the type matcher
    accept lack of spacing after the semicolons in for (;;)
    report new externs in .c files
    fix up typedef exclusion for function prototypes
    else trailing statements check need to account for \ at end of line
    add enums to the type matcher
    add missing check descriptions
    suppress double reporting of ** spacing
    report on do{ spacing issues
    include an example of the brace/parenthesis in output
    check for spacing after closing braces
    prevent double reports on pointer spacing issues
    handle blank continuation lines on macros
    classify all reports error, warning, or check
    revamp hanging { checks and apply in context
    no spaces after the last ; in a for is ok
    check __setup has a corresponding addition to documentation

    limit character set used in patches and descriptions to UTF-8

  • We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions
    to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree. These detract from
    the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers.

    As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and
    include it in the kernel tree. Add instructions suggesting running it on
    submissions. This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.

  • It seems that we need to clarify that a patch series is a series of related
    patches rather than "here are some of my patches as multiple (numbered)
    emails."
